^To be over isn't actually about death. I can see why people think that though.

Agreed, perhaps somber? A song about death with an uplifting ending....

In past "sad song" topics, I usually mention "Hey You" + "Is There Anybody Out There" from The Wall.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Thunderclap Newman - We've Got To Get it Together
I think you mean the song "something in the air." |

I forgot Richard Thompson. A bootleg cassette from his fans was titled "Gloom and Doom from The Tomb"...so his reputation for songwriting was on the morose side. I suppose his most famous (extremely) sad, many would state, "morbid", song is The End Of The Rainbow But there are numerous sombre songs throughout his extensive back catalogue. David Gilmour covered an RT track Dimming Of The Day, which is also pretty sad.

Most songs by Nick Drake, especially when you know of his ultimate demise. Not just Tea For The Tillerman by Cat Stevens but also Mona Bone Jakon, which contains Trouble, Fill My Eyes and Lilywhite ....3 of his best sad songs Also Look Into The Sun by Jethro Tull ...first verse Took a sad song of one sweet evening I smiled and quickly turned away It's not easy singing sad songs But still the easiest way I have to say |

the entire side 2 of Renaissance "Turn of the Cards" would qualify I think Everything by the wonderful group "Asia Minor", although the second album was from 1980 and the third one from this year! I'll think of some more for sure |

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Practically every song on the Floyd studio albums from 'Saucerful of Secrets' through to 'The Wall'. [PatGoD was dominated by Syd's whimsical songs so manages to be surprisingly upbeat for a Floyd album.] Special mentions for: Grantchester Meadows, Julia Dream, Cirrus Minor.

Technically not the Moody Blues, but the Justin Hayward song that appeared on the War of the Worlds album "forever autumn" might qualify also.
